Detective in the Red Chamber

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly assured him again, "No matter what you say, I have also served as a tour envoy for Qiu Wei, and I have some experience in the matter of the imperial examination. As long as there are no major problems at the top, I guarantee that there will be no unmanageable troubles."

He is both taking responsibility and shirking responsibility.

The general prevention and control work is nothing more than that, if a large-scale fraud incident is really going to happen, and the lords of Juren will be excited, Sun Shaozong, who is a mere fifth-rank leader, will never be able to bear it.

Jia Yucun naturally understood what he meant, so he said with relief, "You can rest assured, Your Majesty attaches great importance to this Chunxiu, and the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy will never dare to mess around."

"Since this is the case, Xiaguan will feel at ease in his heart."

Afterwards, the two chatted about some official and private matters, and when Sun Shaozong saw that it was time to eat, he got up and left.

When I got back to the Criminal Department, I saw the handyman sent by the cafeteria, waiting at the door of the hall with the menu in hand, obviously also here to flatter.

So after Sun Shaozong entered, he was going to call them over to order food.

Unexpectedly, Lin Delu hurriedly came up again and reported, "Master, just now the Beizhen governor sent someone to ask you to come over to Yingmao at [-]:[-] p.m. to see the new governor Lu Huilu."

The new governor has already taken office?

Sun Shaozong has been focusing on Ruan Rong and the child recently, but this is the first time he has heard of this.

Speaking of my Dragon Guard Qianhu, it's just a name, and it doesn't have any actual duties. Even if a new official takes office three times, there is no need to call myself Yingmao, right?

What is this new Mr. Lu planning?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, since the governor had already spoken, Sun Shaozong naturally had to give face.

Therefore, he confessed to Lin Delu, "Since the town governor asked me to come over and answer, then I won't eat lunch in the yamen. If you have anything to do, just watch for me first."

Lin Delu obediently agreed, and took advantage of the opportunity to help Sun Shaozong dismiss the kitchen servants.

Sun Shaozong tidied up inside again, and galloped to his house—since he was going to Fusi Yingmao in Beizhen in the afternoon, he naturally had to change into the battle robe of Mo Jiao Tunyun. Doesn't look garish.

Speechless on the road.

But when he got home, Sun Shaozong hurried to the backyard, and was about to cross the threshold of the Moon Gate, when he suddenly bumped into some women, and the charming woman in the lead was none other than Ping'er!

Chapter 209 Another Blessing

Seeing that it was Ping'er face to face, Sun Shaozong was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly came to his senses.

As Ruan Rong's concubine, it's not easy for the serious master of the Rongguo Mansion to visit her personally, but Ruan Rong's son is the eldest son of the Sun family, so she didn't respond at all.

Especially now that the Sun family and the Rongguo Mansion are about to marry, Wang Xifeng, as Jia Yingchun's eldest sister-in-law, has no choice but to express it.

So she sent Ping'er, a half-master servant, over here.

However, when Ping'er saw Sun Shaozong, his heart was unexpectedly tense, he was stunned for a while, and then remembered to retreat to the side, and said a blessing respectfully, "My maidservant has seen Mrs. Sun."

The two little maids in the back are also busy learning how to greet each other.

"Miss Ping'er, you don't have to be polite."

Sun Shaozong smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law really has a heart, and she specially asked you to come and visit."

"Our second mistress explained that since the two families are married, they naturally have to visit each other frequently to miss each other."

Ping'er's eyes flickered a little, but he still said solemnly, "To tell the truth, Mr. Sun, when my second grandmother wrote to Mr. Taiwei a few days ago, she specifically mentioned you, Mr. Taiwei."

Hearing these words, Sun Shaozong suddenly realized that Wang Xifeng was not silent, but had already taken action in secret.

That's right, the way to make money, in the final analysis, is to point to Wang Taiwei's help, Wang Xifeng, the daughter of Wan, did not directly pass him, so she made up her mind to do business with others.

And since she mentioned herself in the letter, she naturally wanted to choose herself as a partner.

But looking at Ping'er's appearance, Wang Xifeng probably didn't want to let herself know about it, probably because she wanted to let herself go first and take advantage of it in the future.

After figuring out this verse, Sun Shaozong's heart suddenly settled down, and he said with a casual smile, "Second sister-in-law wrote a family letter, but why did she mention me?"

"Of course it's a pity that my lord is so brave, but he didn't serve in the army."

"Brave?"

Sun Shaozong laughed, and said with a pun, "Miss Ping'er knows that I am brave and good at fighting. How come the second sister-in-law also knows?"

This foe!

Ping'er's face turned red immediately, luckily the two servant girls were standing behind with their hands down, so they couldn't see her expression.

She glared at Sun Shaozong viciously, but said respectfully, "Master Sun's bravery, is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know? Besides, slaves... slaves have also seen it with their own eyes."

When he said the latter words, his voice was involuntarily raised.

Ping'er immediately didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly said another blessing, "The slave and maid have to go back to the second grandma, so I won't delay my lord's business."

Saying that, he bowed his head and led the two little maids, and left the yard.

After watching her graceful figure disappear behind the door, Sun Shaozong took a step and entered the main room.

Both the mother and the child were on the bed at this time, and the child was lying flat inside, with his two little fists gathered above his head, sleeping soundly.

Ruan Rong turned her body sideways to protect the outside, seeing Sun Shaozong coming in through the curtain, she felt a little puzzled, she hurriedly stood up and asked, "Why did the master come back at such a time?"

Sun Shaozong knew that since she was put under house arrest in Beizhen Fusi last time, she was more afraid of that place.

Therefore, he didn't tell the truth, and just smiled casually, "Isn't it because I don't feel relieved about you and the child, so I rushed back to have a look--it won't be too late for me to go back to work after watching your mother and child after lunch."

Ruan Rong's heart suddenly became warm, and she moved in carefully, saying, "Sir, sit down and rest your feet."

"Wait, let me ask someone to rush for lunch first."

Sun Shaozong said this in his mouth, but when he went out, he ordered Xiangling in a low voice to take out the dragon guard Qianhu battle robe newly made a few years ago, and take it to the west chamber to prepare it.

Then he went back into the room again, sat on the bed as if he was six or nine, and had some thoughtful words with Ruan Rong.

Seeing Pomegranate and Furong coming in with food boxes, just as they were about to set aside the hot food, another woman came in outside and said, "Second Master, I heard that you are back, please go to the living room and see Take a look at the full moon wine post."

Full moon wine post?

She was born less than three days ago, so what is she in a hurry to make full moon wine for?

Sun Shaozong was very speechless, but Brother Cheap's enthusiasm was not uncooperative.

So he had to divide up the meal and take it directly to the front hall to eat and drink.

But when it came to the living room, there were two boxes of golden powder placed on the round table in the middle, and four or five wedding invitations were placed beside it, and a piece of rice paper was spread out in the middle, with people's names densely written on it.

Sun Shaozong put the food box aside, and his attendant Zhao Zhongji hurriedly came up to help arrange the plate.

"Okay, you don't need to serve here."

Sun Shaozong stretched out his hand to stop it, and then ordered, "Go and get 400 taels of silver, and send 100 taels to Master Cheng and the three young nephews each, so that they can buy some useful items in front of Chunwei."

After Zhao Zhongji took the order to leave, Sun Shaozong said speechlessly while setting out the cups and plates, "Brother, what are you doing with all these sands?"

"Write a post!"

Only then did Brother Cheap raise his head from the rice paper, pushed those few sample posts in front of Sun Shaozong, and said, "Do you think this gold powder is more festive when it is stained with cinnabar, or is it pure gold to look majestic? There are running script, official script, and block script, and I don’t quite understand them, so it’s up to you to make up your mind.”

Sun Shaozong flipped open one, but couldn't help but frowned and said, "Wei Rusong? Isn't this guy in the same boat as you? Why did you post a post to invite him?"

"Don't worry, the old boy dare not come!"

Sun Shaozu said carelessly, "I posted the post to that son of a bitch just to let him know that our old Sun's family already has a descendant."

After a pause, he gritted his steel teeth and said, "When Mrs. Jia gives birth to a son, I will invite him to a banquet with drums and gongs. Let's see what that guy has to say!"

In this regard, Sun Shaozong could only be silent.

But Big Brother Cheap didn't intend to let him go, he put his arms around his shoulders, and said with burning eyes, "Big brother can rely on you for this matter!"

"No."

Sun Shaozong said helplessly, "Brother, no one can say for sure about this matter. Even if I do what you say, I may not be able to..."

"Second Master, Second Master!"

As soon as the words were finished, a little maid rushed in recklessly from outside, and shouted happily, "I'm overjoyed, Second Master, our aunt suddenly retched just now. After seeing it, the two nurses said it was embarrassing!"

Do not……

isn't it? !

Xiangling is also pregnant? !

When Sun Shaozong was stunned, his neck tightened again, and Brother Cheap laughed and said, "My mother knows that you are a bitch!"

Chapter 210 Liwei's Background Board

In terms of official rank alone, Beizhen Fusi Yamen is actually a head shorter than Shuntian Mansion - even the highest-ranking Zhenfu envoy is only a fourth-rank official.

But when it comes to real power, as the emperor's pro-military status, Beizhen Fusi, who controls the power to arrest, judge, and hear rumors, is more than one step stronger than Shuntian Mansion.

Therefore, the yamen gate of Beizhen Fusi is much more luxurious than that of Shuntian Mansion.

Especially today is the first time for the new town governor to point his mouth, so the battle in front of the gate is naturally different from the past.

Sun Shaozong was riding on his horse, and from a distance, he could see sixteen dragon guards lined up in front of the gate, all of them were majestic and tall, standing with their knives on the stone steps, with indescribable majesty and majesty.

And the Dragon Guard who guarded the gate saw Sun Shaozong approaching from a distance, so he quickly separated two people to meet him, and one of them bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Dare to ask, but Sun Qianhu is in front of you?"

Although they are all the battle robes of Mo Jiao Tunyun, the cloud patterns on the shoulders are different, and in addition, there are only a few old people in the Qianhu in this yamen, and the only one who does not walk around in the yamen all the year round is Sun Shaozong one.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they can recognize Sun Shaozong at a glance.

Sun Shaozong slammed off his horse and said, "It's my official. I was ordered to come to answer Mao, but I don't know where to wait?"

"My lord, you can go directly to the meeting hall."

The man hurriedly said respectfully, "Your Commander hasn't arrived yet, but Chen Qianhu, who is in charge of the punishment, is already waiting inside."

Chen Qianhu who was in charge?

Isn't that the boss of the detective department?

I remember that Sun Shaozong also suspected him when he was involved in the 'Blood Letter' case, and later found out that Chen Qianhu was on business in the south at that time, so there was no suspicion at all.

He casually tossed the reins to the captain of the Dragon Guard who came up to meet him, and followed the other person straight to the meeting hall.

Before entering the door, hearing the silence inside, I thought there was no one there, but after crossing the threshold, I realized that there were not only people inside, it was literally a sea of ​​people!

Looking at the moiré patterns on the shoulders of most people, it is estimated that almost all the Dragon Guards above the Jingzheng Eighth Grade Small Banner are here.

It is also difficult for them to stand and sit, but they are quiet without making a sound.

"Master Sun."

However, as soon as Sun Shaozong stopped in front of the gate, a general flag came up and said respectfully, "Your seat is in front, please follow the humble officer."

The most people in this hall are the general flags and small flags of the seventh and eighth ranks. There are about a hundred people in total, all standing on both sides.

Going further inside, there are a dozen or so ordinary ebony chairs, almost full of people sitting on them. Judging by their attire, they should all have the title of a hundred households.

In the innermost part, there are only six yellow pear wood chairs, two of which are placed in the middle, which are undoubtedly the seats of the governor and the governor.

The four cards on both sides should be the positions of the four real-time thousands of households in Fusi, Beizhen.

Right now among the six grand master chairs, only the first one on the right hand sits on a fat man with a big belly, who must be Chen Xingzhi who tortured thousands of households.

Sun Shaozong was looking at Chen Xingzhi calmly, but he saw the general flag leading the way pointing to the first grand master chair on the left and saying, "Master Sun, please take a seat."

It turned out to be the first one on the left?

Sun Shaozong frowned, and Chen Xingzhi's face immediately collapsed. In fact, he was muttering in his heart just now, the one who punished thousands of households has always been the top spot below the town, when did he rank second?

Seeing that the person sitting at the top was actually Sun Shaozong, a 'new junior', he felt very displeased.

So before Sun Shaozong was seated, he snorted coldly, "It turns out that this is Mr. Sun, and he has really admired his name for a long time—my subordinates managed to train two talents, but they were sent to the patrol camp by Sun Qianhu. Now that you, Mr. Sun, have been promoted to a thousand households, how many corners are you going to poach from Fusi in our Beizhen?"

Sun Shaozong was still a little hesitant at first, but when he heard his cynicism, he sat down on the grand teacher's chair on the left side frankly, and said with a slight smile, "I have spent more than ten years in the detective department, but I still can't inherit the ancestral hundred years." The mediocre people with household titles were sent to the patrol battalion as errands."

"However, such mediocre people should not be regarded as talents, right? Or is it that talents are so highly valued under your Master Chen's hands?"

"you!"

Chen Xingzhi stood up abruptly, glared at Sun Shaozong for a while, then sat back with a sneer, and said, "Didn't Mr. Sun learn his trickery skills from those sour guys? We don't have such talkative people in Beizhen Fusi." Habit."

"how?"

Sun Shaozong pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes, "Listening to what Chen Qianhu said, don't you want to see a real story with my subordinates?"

Chen Xingzhi opened his mouth, his eyes flicked back and forth on Sun Shaozong's majestic body, but in the end he just snorted and turned his head away from him.
